A 100-year-old World War II veteran who witnessed one of the most iconic moments in U.S. history was honored Tuesday at Disneyland Park.

Charles Cram, a Los Angeles native, served as a Navy pharmacist’s mate — now known as a corpsman — providing lifesaving care to Marines during World War II. He was among those who fought in the Battle of Iwo Jima, where he witnessed the iconic flag raising atop Mount Suribachi.
